Siheyuan: The romantic and suave Xu Damao

"Okay, then let me tell you, brother, this scale is made of Hainan Huanghuali wood, which is very precious."

"What do you mean brother?"

"I'll tell you this wood was a tribute. If the copper hoop on the top of the scale rod hadn't fallen off, it would have been hard to tell. After all, the scale rod has been covered with patina for who knows how many years, and it's hard to see the grain of the huanghuali wood."

"Oh, then brother, based on your knowledge, how much is my scale worth?"

I estimate that this pole is from the mid-Qing Dynasty and is worth at least three hundred yuan. Brother, you can't sell it at a low price.

"What? Two hundred dollars? That would cost at least two or three big pigs. Is this scale really that valuable?"

"It's definitely worth the price. Look at the scale pole. It's almost as long as I am tall, and the thickest part is as thick as my ankle."

Xu Damao said this while thinking in his heart, this is the price now. If this thing was in his previous life, hehe, its value would be even higher. Even if all of it was used to make beads into bracelets, I don't know how much it would sell for.

"Sir, do you think what a young boy like me said is correct?"

"Humph! Don't listen to his nonsense, brother. This scale is just a piece of wood. How can it be worth 300 yuan? Do you know what 300 yuan means? That is nearly a year's salary for the workers in the factory!"

"Brother, you better listen to me. I'll buy you a new one and give you 10 bucks. How about that?"

"A new scale only costs a few dollars. How much is it if you add ten dollars? This is an antique!"

Xu Damao looked at the middle-aged man with a mocking expression.

"Boy, you are deliberately going against me, right? Fine, fine, you said this broken scale is worth 300 yuan, then you take out 300 yuan to buy it! You are so young and shameless, I want to see how you can pay the 300 yuan."

The middle-aged bald man was a little exasperated. He stretched out his index finger and pointed at Xu Damao.

"What a coincidence. I really like this thing. It depends on whether Big Brother is willing to sell it."

Xu Damao said this and looked up at the stall owner.

"That's not good. Is this old scale really worth three hundred dollars? Don't try to fool me, little brother."

"Brother, you are a hero who defends our country. I would not dare to cheat you even if I had the guts to do so! If you are willing to sell it, I will immediately pay for it and give you a new scale!"

Xu Damao patted his chest and made a promise.

"How much money do you have at such a young age?"

"Hey! Don't look at my young age and lack of money, but three hundred yuan is still a lot of money. Unlike some people, who are blinded by greed and even cheat heroes coming down from the battlefield! If you don't want to buy, get out!"

Xu Damao got angry and stopped speaking politely. He looked annoyed and seemed ready to start a fight if they disagreed.

"You...you are just a jerk!"

The bald middle-aged man looked at the tall and strong Xu Damao, pointed at Xu Damao with trembling lips and wanted to curse, but when he saw Xu Damao folding his arms and looking at him coldly, he wisely walked away.

"Brother, the swindler has gone. How about you sell me the scale? It's okay if you don't want to sell it, but remember not to sell it to others for less than three hundred. It's a treasure."

"Ah, little brother, do you really want to buy this thing?"

"That's natural."

"I'll discuss this with my wife, please wait a moment, little brother."

"Okay, big brother, just discuss it with sister-in-law."

After the stall owner and the woman who was calculating with an abacus whispered for a while, the two of them slowly walked over.

"Little brother, since you like this scale, I'll sell it to you. My family needs money to renovate their house."

"That's right, the house leaks. Every time it rains, it rains heavily outside and lightly inside..."

"Okay, big brother, take the oil paper you used to wrap meat and wrap the scale rod for me. Keep the old weight for me, and I'll go buy a new one and bring it over."

"No, no, we can just buy it ourselves!"

"That won't do. I can't delay my business. Please help me watch the car while I go to the front and buy a scale."

Xu Damao waved to the stall owner and walked straight forward.

The place where weighing rods are sold is very close to here. Xu Damao walked about fifty meters and saw one.

Xu Damao spent a few dollars to buy a boxwood weighing rod and walked back carrying it.

"Look, brother. This is a brand new boxwood scale. It's the same size as your scale."

"Brother, you are such a fool. You paid a high price for my broken scale and you still have to spend money to buy a new one. I feel so embarrassed."

"It's okay, I just like this thing. Here's the money, bro, you order it."

Xu Damao took out a stack of Great Unity banknotes, counted the money and handed it over.

"No need to count, no need to count. I trust you, brother." The stall owner took the money and the brand new scale and smiled naively, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

"You're busy at work, it's not safe to keep this money with you, I'll help you keep it!"

A pretty woman holding an abacus came over, snatched the money from the big man's hand and put it in her pocket.

"Hahaha, bro, I'm leaving now!"

Xu Damao packed the Hainan Huanghuali wood weighing rod and put it into the rear basket of his bicycle, then got on his bike and prepared to leave.

"Brother, wait! Take this fat back so that you can make oil for yourself!"

The stall owner walked over quickly with a large oil-paper bag.

"No, no, big brother, just keep it for yourself!"

"Take it, we don't need it at home!"

Without saying anything, the stall owner stuffed the oil paper bag into the basket at the back of Xu Damao's bicycle.

"Thank you very much, big brother. Let's go!"

"Hello, brother!"

Xu Damao rode his bicycle towards his destination.

……

A few days passed in the blink of an eye. That night, Xu Damao lay quietly on the bed. He looked around like a thief and went directly into his portable space.

The vegetables and grains inside have also matured. The vegetables are green and lush, and the wheat and corn are also fully ripe.

"Harvest!"

Xu Damao stood in the middle of the field, issuing mental commands in his mind.

All the vegetables, wheat and corn in the surrounding fields disappeared. Seeing this magical scene, Xu Damao couldn't help shaking his head, as if he was in a dream.

Xu Damao knew that all the disappeared grains and vegetables were automatically preserved.

“Check the granary!”

"Ten mu of wheat yielded about 1.6 jin, which is a very high yield per mu. Eight mu of corn yielded about jin, all of which were stored in the granary."

There are a variety of vegetables, and the quantity is also very large.

The points were directly gained by fifteen points.

As the points increased, Xu Damao discovered that the black fog around this space seemed to have retreated a little, and the area of ​​his own space had increased a lot.
